TubeSpin Bioreactor
Instructions
TubeSpin Bioreactor
The TubeSpin® bioreactor is suitable for high throughput screening, cultivation and optimization processes of prokaryotic (aerobic bacteria) and eukaryotic (yeasts, algae, HEK, CHO, Sf-9) suspension cells. The TubeSpin® bioreactor is available with a filter screw cap with 5 or 10 openings over a PTFE filter membrane. The TubeSpin® Bioreactor is intended for single use only.
Note: Follow national regulations when handling biological material, use appropriate protective clothing Take note of the regulations of aseptic working during the work process.
Instructions
- Check the packaging material and the product for intactness. Use only faultless material.
- Check the expiry date (EXP) on label and packaging. Only use products with valid EXP.
- Open the packaging in a sterile environment and remove an entire system for use.
- Open the bioreactor and fill it with the medium and inoculum according to your laboratory routine. Please refer to the optimal filling quantity (see technical data).
- Close the filter screw cap with ventilation holes. Continuous gas exchange takes place through the integrated hydrophobic membrane 0.22 µm.
- If the aeration/gas exchange needs to be reduced, individual openings may be closed using lab-appropriate labels or tape (picture 1) Picture 1.
- Cultivate: Shake cells in appropriate incubation shakers. Refer to the cultivation conditions of the cells (temperature, CO2 and humidity control, shaking frequency.
- Shakers: Follow the safety instructions and operating instructions of the shaker manufacturer.
- Centrifuging: The use of suitable rotors or centrifuge adapters is recommended. Follow the safety instructions of the centrifuge manufacturer.
- The mechanical strength of the tubes during centrifugation is influenced by o Shape and material
o Accuracy of fit in the centrifuge adapter
o Temperature, centrifugation time, g-number
o Chemical and physical properties of the centrifuged material o Rotor type: fixed-angle or swing-out rotor - Test the multitude of influencing factors under routine conditions beforehand.
- Storage before use at room temperature, protected from UV light
Remarks and Recommendations
- The graduation serves as a guide for filling quantity and is no absolute value.
- Alcohol 90 % with mechanical stress (rubbing) might dissolve or blur the white color of the print.
- For freezing, TPP recommends transferring samples to the TPP cryo tubes. If TubeSpin® bioreactor storage in the minus temperature range is desired, TPP recommends testing the product beforehand according to your conditions.
- TPP assumes no liability for damage caused by, during or due to the use of centrifuge tubes in freezing processes.
